3. Loosen the lock nut (5) at the lower end of
the cable. Turn the adjusting nut (4) to
obtain the specified freeplay. Tighten the
lock nut (5) and check the adjustment.
4. Start the engine, pull in the clutch lever
and shift into gear. Make sure the engine
does not stall and the motorcycle does not
creep. Gradually release the clutch lever
and open the throttle. The motorcycle
should begin to move smoothly and
accelerate gradually.
If proper adjustment cannot be obtained or
the clutch does not work correctly, see your
Honda dealer.
Other Checks:
Check the clutch cable for kinks or signs of
wear that could cause sticking or failure.
Lubricate the clutch cable with a commercially
available cable lubricant to prevent premature
wear and corrosion.
